Long before the Simpson's movie came out, I lived in Rochester, New York. One of the big jokes at the time was that the city was under a big dome owned by the Wegman's empire, who controlled the weather inside the dome.

Maybe they both stole the idea from people in Rochester.

Go to your local hardware store. Buy black garbage bags or a large roll of thick black plastic. Lay the black plastic over the piles of snow.

After everything melts, you can reuse the plastic as a slip-n-slide.

You ARE ahead of your time. Go back to the /machine. Look for a place where you can enter text. Enter "ether" there, instead of in the address bar. But you gotta do it fast, because the thing resets.

I lived in Washington DC for a while. I also lived just outside the district and commuted. While the speed limit going in and out of DC might be 65, top speed during rush hour was about 12 miles per hour. And my commute both times was less than 15 miles each way. This would be a perfect car for those living in the district, except for the price tag.

This would NOT suit me now that I live in Austin, and drive 75 MPH all the way to and from work. 27 miles each way. And no, my boss would not let me charge my car at work.

"The verb __ like a weed in a field of flowers. You ____ __ ___ ___ __ it to _____ the flowers to ____ and ________. ____ ____ the verbs and the language ______ for itself."

This dead field of flowers... More fertilizer, please.

Edu- Cagafuego = fireshitter.
Cacafuego = shitfire.

I personally loved this sentence: "The English language is chockful of colorful words meaning stupid person, such as: DUMMKOPF"

In all, a fantastic article. Thanks, Neatorama!

"“These statistics do not include mowing the lawn, fixing the broken garbage disposal, painting, or building a deck.”

Three of those are one-off chores. You maybe do them once a year (or less). If you count daily and weekly tasks like laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, cooking… Well, you can see how that would add up a lot more quickly."

Sure, washing the dishes happens every day. For 10 minutes. Mowing the lawn takes a couple hours. Then edging takes another hour. And then every month or so, you got to trim the hedges. When the grass isn't growing, you're raking leaves. Or shoveling snow, or trimming those tree limbs that have been scraping the siding. And while you are up on the ladder, the gutter is starting to droop on that side of the house. Oh, that's because the wood it's attached to has started to rot. So that's got to be replaced. And it probably started to rot because the shingles need to be replaced. So fix all that.

So yeah. That stuff doesn't count because it isn't done every day for 10 minutes.

By the way, if you're ever in Austin, look me up. We'll take a trip to the warehouse near the airport where all the confiscated goods are sent. You'll see all the goodies they have for sale.
